By ROBERT SIMON
President Johnson created
the Commission on the assassination of President Kennedy
on November 29 1963, to
"study and report upon all
facts and circumstances" relating to the murders of the
late President and his alleged
assassin ,Lee Harvey Oswald,
Earl Warren, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, was
appointed chairman of the
special panel, which thereafter became known as the
Warren Commission.
The other members were:
Richard Russell, Democratic
Senator from Georgia; John
Sherman Cooper, Republican
Senator from Kentucky; Hate
Boggs, Democratic Representative from Louisiana; Gerald
Ford, Republican Representative from Michigan; Allen
Dulles, former director of the
Central Intelligence Agency:
and John J. McCloy, a former
president of the World Bank.

The Commission concluded
that Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, was responsible for
the assassination of President
Kennedy and the death of Offi-

When the Garrison Investigation became public knowledge, the press attacked him,
charging that he was politically ambitious and had no
case for the Warren Commission had reached unchallengeable conclusions.
Garrison doesn't agree and
recently stated that -The
press of America has been
apathetic. the Press has been
consumed with inertia since
the assassination. The questions the press asks about me
are a very healthy thing. If
I cannot survive it then I'm
in the wrong business."
"I don't care what questions
they raise about the case, because I know we can win our
case, That's the way it should
be, and if the Press has any
doubts about me, if they think
I'm politically ambitious, if
they really think I'd charge
somebody for some kind of
personal gain, then they
should raise the question.
That's fine, because I'll sur-

vivo it and I'll answer the
questions. But why don't they
ask these questions that demand to be asked of the
President of the United
States? Have we reached a
point where the President is
so powerful that the PresS is
afraid to ask him, President
Johnson, why we cannot see
these hidden files? Are they
so afraid of the Golden Eagle
that is the Presidential emblem, so afraid of the power
now massed in Washington
that we have become a fascist
country?
So asks "Big Jim" Garrison.
According to Garrison, "The
main function of the Warren
Commission, and the reason it
was appointed, was to conceal
the fact that militant right
wing individuals had killed
the President of the United
States, and also to conceal the
fact that individuals connected
with the Central Intelligence
Agency were involved."
